J011yroger Stroke Inventory.

I love the quality of the cam. I don't know... perhaps is the colours, or the contrast, or both, plus the colour of the courts, and the sun, but I like it.

It's like watching animation, somehow

More amazing: he could have played every shot in that video with a different N90 . Gotta love having 14 identical sticks......

Sounds like a good conditioning drill, hit a backhand, drop the racquet, run to the sideline, grab another, hit a backhand, drop the racquet, run to the sideline, grab another Ad Infinitum.

Ok - so call me picky, but when I read that drill, I see a huge pile of n90s scattered on the court. I think you should rework the drill to include dropping them after running to the sideline

Great drill for co-ordination work and also helping you get down to the ball (racquet ).

Hmm, how can I re-jig this and actually use it for the kids I coach.... I actually have some ideas

Well you already do recovery drills where they hit a ball then recover to a poly circle on the court right?

Joy11, great vid. Very solid BH. Thanks for sharing, and hope that wrist gets better soon. I, along with others am surprised you are even hitting with an injury like that.

Ahhhhh what we do for the love of tennis!

What kind of camcorder did you use? I actually like the way the picture looks although I can't really see the ball. It almost looks like film out of the seventies. You mess with interlacing and add a film grain filter to it, it would look like film almost.

Don't like how your feet comes up on the follow through sometimes, but it's obviously a dependable stroke.

Samsung Digital Sports Camcorder. Tinyest little thing.

My first day out with it, so I wasn't sure what to expect.

You mean how my left foot comes up on the toe?

Wow. 680K? You're sacrificing a lot for size. Still, it looks cool. Right now I'm sort of obsessed with going hi def for camera and stuff, so that's probably why I'm shocked.

I know that part is normal, I was talking about when it comes up then flies around so your left foot is in front of the right on the follow through.

Ya I saw it and it was like the cutest little thing. I just had to have it. This is the only thing I use it for, so it isn't that big of a sacrifice. I would pick up something with more steam if I was gonna use it for other things.

Lol yea, I put a little extree on those. I don't do it on purpose it is just my momentum bringing me around. Certainly not something I would advise on a routine crosscourt rally ball!

Looks like your follow through needs work. It looks like you're trying to choke yourself after you hit the ball. After contact looks like a sweeping upward motion, like the finishing of a golf swing. My opinion for what it's worth.

After contact drive forward more, both arms and the racquet should not swipe upward and the racquet face should be facing the fence after follow through, not over your neck and facing the bottom of the court. GL..

[kevywevyy]

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but there's just something about the motion as a whole that doesn't look right.
amazing nonetheless w/ an injury...

[Ultra2HolyGrail]

Also i should add watch the left foot, it should be more stabilized after you hit the shot, it's comming around with your whole body, and with the upright follow through, causing you to do a almost 360 turn.

My follow through is fine.

Agassi, Roddick, Nadal, finish like me.

Baghdatis, Hewitt, finish like you describe.

Safin, kind of in between.

It is more of a style thing, as long as you are decelerating safely either way is fine.

Why from a technical application aspect would you think I needed to change my followthrough? What would you like to change about the stroke?

What in game consequenses do you see my longer followthrough having that would be solved by your method?

Or what ball striking advantages would be gained?

LOL, it doesn't hurt when I hit backhands, that is why I was doing it.

I drool at your two-hander. Its so fluid.

but one question, Are you supposed to keep your arm strait even for the follow through?

[zapvor]

i love this idea you got going. dedication. practicing with injury! even the pros dont do that, and they got big money on the line!

Nope, after you hit the ball your arms break at the elbows and wrists, but in a natural deceleration. If you didn't let your arms bend after contact it would put undue strain on your body.

When I am looking to hit big topspin my arms have some bend in the at contact aswell.

I had to do something or I would be 500lbs by the time I was healed.
